Inside The Lab That Cracked The Atlanta Child Murders | The New Detectives

Season 3, Episode 3: Follow forensic investigators as they solve three complex cases using almost invisible fiber evidence. In Atlanta, a major task force led by microanalysts Larry Peterson and Hal Deadman connects dozens of murders and missing persons cases to Wayne Bertram Williams through unique carpet and acetate fibers. In Maine, Detective Ed Thorne and forensic chemist Chris Montagna link convicted rapist David Fleming to the murder of Lisa Garland using maroon carpet fibers and a tiny white pine wood chip. Finally, Florida investigators Mike Walker and David Folsome use fiber evidence on a dashboard and airbag, analyzed by Paula Sauer and the FTIR spectrometer, to prove Curtis Davidson was driving the sports car when Michael Manella was killed in a high-speed accident. The New Detectives is an American docudrama where world-renowned forensics experts and criminal investigators solve a wide range of cases. Some scenes in this program have been reenacted, due to the sensitive nature of the show, viewer discretion is advised. #NewDetectives #TrueCrime #ForensicScience
